**My new 325d Touring ///M-Sport**
Well, I'm part of this great community for over a year now and finally took delivery of my spanking new E91! Thank you all for the input I got from you, much appreciated!
OK, first impressions: Color: The color is simply awesome, so glad I changed my mind from LeMans Blue (which I still love) to TiAg! Interior: I had the Alcantara sport seats in my E46 before and loved them, but the new seats are so much better. The side bolster adjustment is just perfect. The ///M steering wheel and shifter feel great and have perfect grip. I-drive: So much better and faster than the E60 version. Love the voice dial, it now recognizes the names from your phone list. So much easier to use in traffic. Stereo: I've ordered the HiFi-speaker upgrade (comes standard in U.S. :mad: ) and I'm very pleased with it. Better than my E46 HiFi-speaker. Adaptive Xenons: What a let down. The adaptive feature works great, but the brightness is inferior to my E46 Xenons. The headlights also point to low, will adjust them a bit higher. Comfort Access: Very nice feature, the only way the START-Button makes sense, IMO. For all the Euros on here: The mirrors do not fold in anymore by pressing the close button on the remote or door handle for longer than 2 seconds. They changed default on all post september 06 models. But it can be reprogrammed by the dealer, I already have an appointment. This will take half an hour to program!?! Suspension: Post september 06 Tourings with the ///M-package now finally get the ///M-suspension, not longer sport-suspension. What can I say: Huge improvement over the E46 compact suspension! Perfect handling, and: Surprisingly comfortable (with my 17" Bridgestone Blizzaks). Very smooth ride. Engine: Now the interesting part : The engine (detuned 330d) is noticeably slower than the 330d. Slight turbo lag but very smooth and constant pull. No surprises, no spectacular kick-in-the-butt-torque. But a very refined, smooth and quiet engine. Just perfect for long trips. Transmission:: Overall gear ratio is too long. It's the same setup as the 330d. Robs a bit of power, I guess. Also, the 6MT in my car is quite jerkey and not very precise, I hope this will change over time. But still more fun than the steptonic, IMO. : Well, time for the pics, sorry about the quality! I was too exited and my CA was waiting for me. BTW: This is my winter setup, the 159s look great in person.

Beautiful car!! Great combo!
Nice winter set-up to I'm very curious about the performance of the 325d in comparison with my chipped 320d.. Too bad there are no tests in magazines or demo cars in my area.. Viel spass!! You waited long enough |

So, any modding plans for the car, or are you happy with it just the way it is?
But I'd definently puy blacklines on it

Beautiful car!
Do you know if the ///M suspension is also part of US E91's? I was under the impression that US E91's had the "sports suspension" as this was apparently the case in 2006.

Thanks all for the nice comments!
@ Robin: Yeah, one more thing to look forward too in spring! @Shäferhunde: No sorry, not available in the U.S., because you don't get the whole M-package either.

Actually, I prefer the stock rear lights on silver E91s. Only with this color the classic L-shape of the rear lights shows up. On the other hand I'm thinking of getting blacklines and modding them to whitelines, like someone did before (unfinished still though). This would look awesome!

Great Car! :-) You will REALLY enjoy it! You'll notice once you've run it in a bit the huge drop in fuel consumption compared to your previous car. It's really great having to fill up that less often! :-)
I think my issue has always been that I didn't take the sports suspension, it really makes a difference (my compact had the sports suspension also). The car is looking great...enjoy it! :-D |
